Chapter 210: Increasingly Sick
Who knew misfortune would befall on whom!
On the third floor, inside Fang Lilan’s room, Fang Manxue threw herself on the bed. She punched against the Simmons bedding in anger, creating loud, thumping noises. “Mom, mom! I’m so angry! Look at that cheap wench! See how arrogant she is!”
Fang Lilan supported her up from the bed dotingly. As she took in FangManxue’s beautiful, young features, her expression was indulgent. “My Manxue is a noble princess. Fang Xinxin, the fat wench, is but an ugly toad. She won’t be able to remain arrogant for too long.”
“Mom, I have to tell you something. I followed Fang Xinxin recently and learned a big secret!” Fang Manxue whispered in her mom’s ear with a confident expression.
Fang Lilan’s eyes widened. “Very good. That Fang Xinxin doesn’t know how to be content in her position as Bai Qinghao’s fiancée. She actually dared to betray Bai Qinghao. I’ll see how Bai Qinghao deals with her!”
“We can’t give anything away till the last moment. We have to make sure Fang Xinxin doesn’t become suspicious. The next time we meet Bai Qinghao, I’ll let her face the consequences.”
“Why didn’t you say anything when Bai Qinghao visited us now?”
“That’s because I had no way of approaching Bai Qinghao.” Fang Manxue had learned to be patient.
“The reason I didn’t say it in public wasn’t to save Fang Xinxin’s face. If I revealed the fact that she’s being kept by an old man in front of everyone, it would harm Bai Qinghao’s face. Then, even if he abandons Fang Xinxin, he would still hate me for being the type of woman who betrayed her own sister. The next time Bai Qinghao visits, I’ll borrow someone else’s knife instead. This way, if I succeed, I would have successfully caught the fish. If it fails, the matter would be unrelated to me and I won’t be impacted.”
“My daughter, you’ve improved and have a better foresight now.” Fang Lilan nodded happily. “Do you want mom to arrange the knife for you? Or...”
“I have someone in mind. You don’t have to worry about this matter.”
“Good.”
Fang Manxue narrowed her eyes viciously. “When Fang Xinxin turns into an abandoned trash, I’ll see how she still dares to compete with me!”
...
The next day, Fang Xinxin made another visit to the prison.
Fang Shaohua had caught a cold. She offered a few words of concern and updated him on several matters. She suggested to him that if he pretended to have contracted a serious cough in front of others, she would arrange for him to be temporarily released for medical treatment.
Fang Shaohua returned to the one-person prison cell that he had occupied for the past two days. A young man dressed in the prison uniform immediately followed after him. He locked the steel door and quickly explained. “I’m Chen Aili. I used to be a make-up artist. The Third Fang Lady has arranged for me to be here.”
Chen Aili brought a compact, make-up pouch out of his armpit. There was a small palette, an eyeliner, a concealer... everything he could possibly need.
However, the quantity was rather small and he could use these products only a few times.
“The ‘crime’ I committed will be dismissed in a few days. My mission is to give you several days of makeover, and to help you appear especially ill. This way, you will be able to meet the requirements for external medical attention.”
Between his words, Chen Aili quickly began to pat the powder on Fang Shaohua’s face. He also applied a brandless lotion on his face. Very quickly, the originally, energetic-looking Fang Shaohua appeared like a weak, ill man. “I won’t make the changes to appear too drastic for now. For the next two days, I will gradually intensify it for you to seem increasingly ill. The make-up is waterproof. Since you are in this cell alone, no one will touch the things. I’ll leave the make-up items in the toilet’s water tank for the next few days. When I’m released from this place, I’ll take it along with me.”
Fang Shaohua nodded lightly.
Once Chen Aili left his prison cell, Fang Shaohua asked a prison guard to take him to the infirmary.
